Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1405: Harvest (3)
Chapter 1405: Harvest (3)
Su Yu curled his mouth with disdain. He had killed so many people that he would rarely get heavenly rewards for killing nowadays. This reward was probably an accumulation from all his recent kills. If his name was still recorded on the Heavenly Hunt Index, his highlighted accomplishment would probably be something like assisting in the killing of an Eternal.
Since then, he had killed a lot more people. However, he had not received a single heavenly reward for those kills. Not even killing Sunmoons was enough to grant him a heavenly reward anymore.
He would only receive a reward after his accumulated accomplishments reached a certain level. In short, the heavenly laws were valuing him so highly that not even killing index geniuses was worthy of a reward anymore.
Clearly, he had finally reached the required threshold for a reward after adding Zhan Ta to the rest of his recent kills.
As far as the heavenly laws were concerned, killing an Earth Index genius would hold more weight than killing even a third-stage Sunmoon. A young genius held a lot more value than an old expert. For example, even an eighth-stage Sunmoon could probably receive a massive heavenly reward for killing Su Yu.
The multicolored cloud dropped down on him. No heavenly source qi and willpower could be found in this reward. Instead, the cloud faded away to reveal a metallic book.
The characters on the book was not written in the language of any specific race. Rather, they were written on the pure language of willpower, similar to the culture and radiance characters of Su Yu.
"An Encyclopedia of Weaponsmithing."
Su Yu was surprised to see the title of the book. This was his first time receiving such a reward. In the past, he had only received weapons as his rewards instead of something so technical. Thus, this reward came as quite a surprise to him.
More importantly, this was a reward he had received after killing so many people. In that case, it should be quite decent, right? After all, something written in the willpower language shouldn't be too shabby. Something like this could be considered a willpower text in the purest sense.
The moment Su Yu flipped the book open, numerous visions appeared in his eyes. He saw an expert weaponsmith. After some time, he noted that the depicted weaponsmith was amazingly skilled at weaponsmithing. After even more time, he shut the book joyfully. This would make for a great gift for Zhao Li.
For Su Yu, the dao of weaponsmithing was merely a tool, not a passion. Meanwhile, weaponsmithing was Zhao Li's life. This was a great reward.
He had not given his Teacher Zhao a lot of gifts. This book would serve well as a gift for his teacher. It was likely that this was a book written by a heaven weaponsmith from the ancient past. The weaponsmithing style depicted in this book was clearly different from the modern weaponsmithing styles. It would be helpful for Zhao Li in his endeavor to advance into a heaven weaponsmith.
"Not bad at all."
Just then, a gust of astral wind arrived from the depths of the gorge. In the blink of an eye, it reached him. It brushed past him and gave him a stinging sensation on his skin. However, it was nothing he couldn't endure.
This did not come as a surprise as Zhan Ta wouldn't have dared to stay if the astral wind was too strong.
Su Yu's gaze settled on the golden nasal hair that was swaying about from the nasal wind. With a smile, he chopped at the nasal hair with his palm as a blade. He couldn't miss out on it. Even if it couldn't be used as a carrier treasure, it could still serve well as a material for forging heaven weapons.
In truth, Su Yu did not have too many carrier treasures left. However, he was ambitious. He was very ambitious.
He wanted to grow his Mark of Civilization beyond imagination. Lan Tian wanted to carry ten thousand daos with ten thousand carrier treasures. Meanwhile, Su Yu aimed to forge each page of his book with a carrier treasure.
Yes. One carrier treasure per page. That was his goal.
He wanted to forge an unparalleled divine weapon nobody had forged before. When he was done, his book would be the strongest weapon in existence.
The core of his book was the culture and radiance characters. Together, the two characters meant civilization. By the time his book reached that level, the two characters would have advanced into Invincible characters or beyond.
In short, he would grow his characters through his weapon.
With a crack, the ground beneath the nasal hair crumbled apart. In respond, the astral wind grew in intensity, as though someone was gasping from pain. Then, numerous nasal hairs shot over to get rid of the intruder.
Su Yu hurriedly grabbed the nasal hair and fled. He was in no rush to go deeper. After all, a different nasal hair was waiting for him in the neighboring nostril. He could always explore the depths after harvesting both nasal hairs.
As far as he was concerned, the first level had transformed into his personal farm. He did not intend to leave any of these nasal hairs behind. He aimed to harvest every one of them. Naturally, he wouldn't uproot every one of them. What if that somehow destroyed their ability to regrow? Where possible, he would simply cut them down instead.
After all, he might return to this place in the future.

When Su Yu arrived outside, he vanished almost immediately. Yellow Nine and the others weren't even able to follow his movements. All they saw was a flicker. Not long after, a powerful gust of astral wind shot out of the gorge.
While the three were moving aside in panic, Su Yu braved the astral wind and entered the neighboring gorge.
***
Half an hour later.
Once again, Su Yu consumed everyone in the gorge with his book. The more lives the book took, the more saintly it looked. Unsurprisingly, Su Yu harvested his second golden nasal hair. What a great harvest.
He had also gained countless storage rings from all his victims. They were so many of them he wasn't even bothered to check the contents of these rings. He would only do so when he had the time.
Finally, he set his sights on the depths of the gorge. What could he get from the nose acupoints?
***
A few hours later, Su Yu walked out of the depths with an odd expression. At the moment, his nostrils were no longer symmetrical. One was larger than the other. Yes. One of his nostrils was left untempered. As for the tempering process, it was not something he wanted to talk about.
Earlier, he had allowed a stream of water to flow into his nostril. The pain was excrutiating. Eventually, a large amount of impurities started coming out of his nostril. His nostril had been subjected to a throughout cleansing.
Additionally, he could feel that his nasal hair had also grown much stronger. In fact, he had a feeling that he could now stab Skysoars to death with his nasal hair. Was this place trying to turn him into a monster? Would he still be a human after this?
Filled with expectation, he entered the depths of the other nostril. In the past, he had heard stories about people killing by breathing on someone. He had always thought that these stories were mere exaggeration. But now, he understood that he could probably kill by simply sneezing on someone.
In that case, would he be able to blow someone to death after tempering his mouth acupoint?
***
While Su Yu was tempering his nose acupoints.
Even more tunnels had collapsed outside the mansion.
At the same time, multiple names vanished from the Heavenly Hunt Index. Clearly, more index geniuses had perished in the mansion. Up until now, over thirty index geniuses had perished in the mansion.
The various Invincibles had unsightly expressions. This was too heavy a loss. They were now certain that something big was happening on the first level.
The divines, devils, and immortals had suffered losses from these deaths. The same applied to the other races. The human race was the sole exception. They had suffered the lowest amount of losses thus far. Thus, everyone was furious. They were more and more certain that the humans were responsible for this.
An Invincible said, "I can contact my descendant and get him to descend the levels. However, the price is high. Is anyone willing to compensate me for my troubles?"
They couldn't afford to let this continue.
"What's the strength of your descendant?"
"Seventh-stage Sunmoon."
The Invincibles sank into thought. A seventh-stage Sunmoon was strong. But...was that enough?
"Will that be enough?" The Invincible said, "If you're worried, get an Eternal or a ninth-stage Sunmoon to descend. But my question is...will anyone agree to that? That will be tantamount to giving up on the nineleaf skylotus."
That shut everyone up.
True.
Before long, they reached angreement to let a seventh-stage Sunmoon descend the levels first. As for whether that Sunmoon could make it all the way down to the first level, that would be up to luck.
Just then, even more tunnels collapsed. Su Yu was not the only person who was killing in the mansion. People were dying on every single level.
Su Yu had merely killed more than the others.
Of the 3,600 people who had entered the mansion, about 300 had died on the first day.
And over 200 of these deaths had happened on the first level.
This was supposed to last a month. At this rate, they would lose everyone in twelve days.
Something like this had never happened before.
It wasn't like no mad murderers had ever entered the mansion before. For example, each blood fire devil was such a madman. However, not even the blood fire devils would commit so many killings. Most of the time, they would either start climbing the levels or succumb to the resistance of the remaining people on the level after some time.
This time, the killings were showing no sign of stopping.

"How ruthless."
Above the ancient city, Liu Hong was clicking his tongue in amazement. He was certain this was Su Yu's handiwork. What a crazy guy. He had killed over two hundred geniuses in one day. If the myriad races learned that it was him, they would probably go crazy.
After a while, Liu Hong landed on the ground again. He glanced at the inner hall and smiled before entering the main hall. He started wondering when Xing Yue would leave. It wouldn't be too hard to lure Grandstar away. He only needed someone to attack the city.
"Su Yu will probably wait until the final day before leaving, right?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
After thinking about it, Liu Hong shut his eyes and started focusing on his cultivation. Missing out on the Luminous Domain Mansion would not hinder his growth. After all, he had scammed quite a lot of treasures from Topsoil Spirit not long ago.
